Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration of a pentagon with the vertices labeled upper A, upper B, upper C, upper D, and upper E clockwise from the bottom.
Find the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon.
A pentagon has five sides and five vertices. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula: (n-2) * 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides of the polygon.
In this case, n = 5, so the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon is (5-2) * 180 = 3 * 180 = 540 degrees.
Therefore, the sum of the interior angles of the pentagon is 540 degrees.
